Became the Golden Sun of the Academy

79 – Don’t like it!

It was late at night.

The stars were not visible because of the bright full moon hanging in the dark night sky.

The occasional cry of a scabbard was peaceful, and the cool breeze blowing from the balcony made me feel good.

“It’s quiet.”

It is quiet enough to make you mistakenly thinking that you are alone in the world, probably because it is the time when everyone is asleep.

Enjoying the taste in this silence would be healing in its own way, but the wind brushing my cheeks was getting colder and colder, and she didn’t seem to have any intention of just watching me rest.

“It’s been a while since everyone has gone back, isn’t it okay to come out now?”

The curtain fluttered at those words he muttered to himself.

A woman slowly emerges in the dark under the slanting moonlight.

A familiar yet unfamiliar face is revealed when the hood she was wearing is flipped back.

It was a different Lucy than the Lucy I saw during the day.

“… ….”

Lucy came out of her room to the balcony where I was and she badly crossed her legs and stared at me silently with her arms crossed.

“You seem to have been in your room since daytime today, but you seem to be in good shape.”

“…… Did you know?”

“Yes.”

“It’s quite good. The Adele I knew didn’t have skills like this.”

Because she couldn’t use her arms, she sometimes used her fairy tales to move her things when Charlotte was away, a fact she discovered by accident.

It was like catching a mouse while she was walking backwards, but Lucy, who didn’t know that, must have misunderstood her.

“I heard about it from Lucy. I heard that she is Lucy from the future.”

“Right.”

“And now I’m done with it, but you tried to kill me.”

“That’s right too.”

Lucy sat down on her chair on her balcony and crossed her legs.

She said, pointing with her hand to her drink, which she had prepared in advance, she seemed to be showing up by this time.

“You can drink. Are you prepared to drink?”

“… ….”

Lucy looked suspiciously at her plain drink, perhaps because I had handed it to her.

“There is no poison in it.”

Lucy sucks her drink through a straw only after she dares to explain it.

I emptied the glass full of drink in an instant, set it down on the table, and drank everything I had prepared to drink, as if that wasn’t enough.

I didn’t show it, but it seems that I was thirsty because I kept hiding in my room.

“Aren’t you curious?”

I sat across from her.

“What do you mean?”

“The reason I tried to kill you.”

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t curious, but I don’t feel like they’re trying to take my life anymore, so I don’t want to ask.”

“… ….”

Lucy, who was still, bit her mouth shut.

Looking at that expression, my reaction was different from what I expected, so it seemed that I was taken aback.

I wanted to explain the reason, but is it because I didn’t ask?

Lucy, who had been watching her for a long time, opened her mouth.

“…… You betrayed my trust.”

“… ….”

Oops.

It seems that he is trying to explain the reason regardless of my intention.

The speaker himself continued to speak shamelessly, but I felt embarrassed, perhaps because of my nonchalant reaction.

“…… Say something!”

“Ah, I was thinking about how to react. Go on.”

“… ….”

The guy cursed with his eyes, but he ignored it.

No matter how much Lucy glared at her fiercely, it was Lucy anyway.

I am not afraid of anything, just as I am not afraid of a small teddy bear with round eyes.

It’s not that I’m sincerely letting go of my life.

Because he was so calm, Lucy swallowed her anger and continued her explanation.

“…… You don’t know, but up until this point, I trusted you quite a bit.”

It seems that I helped her several times even in her time line where her Lucy in her future passed.

But it was from Nikita’s fall that a different part of the world began to appear.

Lucy, who was not helped by Adele in the future, was saved by the sacrifice of several professors and barely survived until she almost died.

Lucy said that she was sorry that she didn’t stay with her and went to ask for her help.

“That’s why I thought people changed. I believed that I wouldn’t do bad things like I used to.”

It was a quarter different from the present.

“You’ve been obsessed with power ever since. It was like someone obsessed with something.”

Lucy bent her upper body and looked me in the eyes.

“Why did you do that? Is that to kill people? You can know because you are yourself. Answer me.”

Is it the same as me?

I wanted to answer that, but I probably didn’t want that kind of answer.

“It must be to protect people.”

Because I was not helped by future Adele, I wonder if it was to protect Lucy when the same situation happened.

I thought it would have been the case for me, so when I answered that, Lucy frowned.

“But you kill people with that power?”

“Maybe he wasn’t the person I wanted to protect.”

“What?”

Lucy had a spirited expression.

“Who are you trying to protect?”

“I don’t know that far. You don’t know what the situation was like, and you don’t even know who was around at that time.”

“… ….”

I moved the teapot with a fairy tale and poured tea into an empty cup.

Perhaps she was still thirsty after drinking that much, Lucy gulped down her tea and put it down.

“Is that all you want to know?”

“What?”

“No, I thought you were asking me because you didn’t know how to go back to the future.”

“… ….”

Lucy fell silent again.

He seems to know that he doesn’t reveal his thoughts when he shuts his mouth, but his expression shows it all.

“I don’t know how to go back to the past, but I didn’t think of going back. Is not it?”

You can tell by rolling your eyes.

“Your thoughts show on your face. It’s no use trying to hide it.”

“That, I will take care of that!”

In the end, it was Lucy who admitted it.

“I knew that. Also, Lucy is Lucy. The stupid side…….”

“More than that! I heard you did it to Anastasia.”

He interrupted me and openly revealed his intention to divert the topic, but he decided to let it go and listened to it.

“If you can go back to the past, does that mean you can also go back to the future?”

“So, you mean you want to see how the future has changed?”

Lucy nodded.

“Good.”

As I chinned, the drawer in the room opened, and a piece of paper flew out of it, tied to a string and fluttering as if it were being dragged.

It was a preliminary magic circle that I had made just in case.

“If you use your magical power, you will be able to see the future for a while. You must know how to use it, right?”

“Yes. You just need to put magic into it.”

Lucy grabbed the paper that had flown onto the table and held it, channeling his magical energy.

A mysterious blue light shone on the dark balcony where only the moonlight was shining.

And Lucy’s head fell as if she had lost consciousness.

I was going to wait while getting some fresh air.

Jumping.

“…… !”

It wasn’t long before she went to the future, and Lucy opened her eyes, startled as if she had seen something she couldn’t see.

He blinked blankly a few times as he looked at me, then hiccuped with a sudden hiccup.

“Why is that? Didn’t the future change properly?”

Lucy jumped up from her seat, pushing the chair away.

Then he jumped over the balcony railing and was already running far away, leaving only a plain reply, “You don’t have to know!”

I murmured as I watched the back of him go away.

“What the hell did you see?”

Since the guy ran away, there was no way to know.

* * *

“Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy…… !”

Rushing back to the dormitory, Lucy threw off his shoes and slammed the door open, entering the room.

“Hey, Lucy Bellemail!”

Lucy, who was lying on the bed writing in her diary, widened her eyes in surprise.

“What is it, what is it? Why?”

The matured Lucy walked up to her with quick steps and grabbed Lucy’s cheeks with her hands.

As I looked at Lucy, who looked stupid, her cheeks gathered in the center of her face, the heat rose up.

“What are you thinking…… !”

The matured Lucy recalled what she had just seen.

A world where Kyle is alive, Anastasia is alive, Charlotte is alive, and all the dead are alive.

Only looking at that, I thought it somehow changed history, but the problem was behind it.

“With Adele… ….”

When Lucy assimilated her brief future self, she was in someone’s arms.

She’s just that, but she thinks that all the hard work she’s done has been rewarded, and her heart is at peace.

When she looked up, she realized that it was Adele, not Kyle, who was making eye contact with her…. !

As soon as her eyes met Adele’s, Lucy was shocked by her and her magical energy did not run out, but she quickly regained her senses and returned to reality, and after that it was as she sees now.

“Adele? Why Adele?”

She doesn’t know why she is in Adele’s arms that she resents herself enough to kill her.

Seeing that look on her face, Lucy let go of her whole body, lifted her hand from her face, and let out a deep sigh.

Isn’t that so?

Now we’re facing each other, but actually she’s in her past.

She says that her time has passed, she is herself, so who can she blame?

Lucy was glad she didn’t think of a way to get back to the future.

She said that if she went back to the future in this state, she would have fallen in love with Adele without knowing why.

I don’t know what Lucy in front of her would think if she knew that, but it was a difficult future for her to accept, at least for Lucy, a mature woman with her strong resentment toward Adele.

The matured Lucy glanced at the diary Lucy was reading.

She wrote in the diary that she had returned to the past and that she had accepted Anastasia, from whom Adele fell until her arm was broken.

Is that all, the diary was full of many things Adele had saved her so far.

When I saw that, I suddenly thought of that.

If Adele hadn’t killed Kyle and the others, would she have come to like Adele, just like Lucy, whom she saw briefly…… Such a thought.

“Whoops!”

What do you think?

Mature Lucy puts both hands on her cheeks! I hit and stopped imagining.

“What are you doing?”

“You know what it is.”

“So why is Adele even writing about her good deeds?”

At that, Lucy raised her eyebrows.

She understands that she hates Adele, but she does, so she doesn’t think it’s right to force her feelings on herself.

“That is my heart. Why are you saying this and that?”

Lucy, ignoring her mature Lucy, took up her pen and started writing in her diary.

The grown-up Lucy stood beside her and shouted into her ear.

“Did you forget what Adele did to you all this time?”

Sweet.

The pen seemed unwilling to stop.

“Did you really forget how you broke Kyle’s foot, slandered you, and hit you?”

Sweet.

Only the adult Lucy’s heart became restless at the non-stop moving pen tip.

It was because she noticed that Lucy’s expression as she wrote about what happened today was unusual.

Cried the grown-up Lucy as she slammed her bed with her fist.

“Don’t like me!”

Only then did Lucy turn her head.

Her face was red, as if she had been stabbed in the middle for some reason.

“What, what are you saying! Why do I like Adele!”

Seeing Lucy screaming with her fists clenched, the mature Lucy remembered what Adele said today.

─ Your thoughts show on her face. She tried to hide it, but she’s useless.

‘Oh, that’s true.’

She was just as he said, she was a woman who let her thoughts shine through her face.

Even if she didn’t like it yet, it was clear that she was somewhat cheered up.
